Life is just a bowl of cherries. I'm not going to sing that. I don't know if you don't like it too much. Napoleon's a pastry. Bismarck is a herring. Alexander's a cream de coco mixed with rum. Herbie Hoover is a vacuum. Columbus is a circle and a day off. Pershing is a square. What a payoff. Julius Caesar is now a salad on a shelf. So little brother, get wise to yourself. Life's a bowl and it's full of cherry pits. Play it big and it throws you for a loop. That's the way with fate. Comes today where great comes. Tomorrow where tomato soup, Napoleon's pastry. Get this under your brow. What once used to be a rooster is a duster now. Dewberry is a lipstick. Pompadour's a hairdo. A good Queen Mary just floats along from pier to pier. Venus de Milo is a pink Brazil. Sir Gladstone is a bear. Gainey, Charkin and the mighty Kaiser. Just a stock in the Tsar of Russia is now a jar of caviar. Even Cleopatra is a black cigar. Oh yes, my honey lamb, Swift is just a ham. Lincoln's a ton of, Coleridge is a dam. Yes, my noble lads, comes the day where fads comes. Tomorrow we're all subway ads. Homer is a swat. King John, you know what? Get this under your brow. All these big wheel controversials are just commercials now. Life is just a bowl of cherries. Better get your jug of wine and loaf of love before that final bow.
